Helicopter and two-node feeder equipment

Fishing equipment based on the feeder “helicopter and two nodes” is oriented for fishing of cyprinids in the active stream. The main advantage of this device is the possibility of arbitrary fish hooking. Properly made equipment with a successful casting allows the bait to hang in the water almost motionless, which helps to increase the reaction and bite of the fish.

Features

The equipment “helicopter and two nodes” operates on the principle of a paternoster. These devices are made quickly right before the start of fishing. A similar fishing method is suitable for bottom fishing and fishing at medium depths with an average and active course.

The main feature of the equipment is the absence of a retraction, which makes it possible to bring the leash at a minimum speed. The length of the element directly affects the speed of diving of the bait. The shorter the leash, the faster the dive. This factor becomes crucial when choosing the equipment in question.

Operating principle

The most effective work of the “helicopter” equipment is achieved when the rod is located at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the horizontal streamline. In this case, the fishing line is extremely stretched after lowering the bait to a certain depth.

Following the feeder, a leash is immersed in water. In fast water, the bait is washed away intensively, the hook with the bait continues to remain along the line of feeding the fish. With the correct location of the rod, the first bite will not take long. This point is not difficult to notice, because the snap is very sensitive. When biting, the fish shifts it from the point of stability, after which there is instant tension of the forest, transmitted to the edge of the rod.

Feeder equipment “helicopter and two nodes”: manufacturing

In order to make the device in question, it is necessary to start with the acquisition of all the required elements. These include:

1. Fishing line. In this case, fluorocarbon forests will be the best option. It has sufficient rigidity and is almost invisible in water. The thickness of the device should be 0.25-0.35 mm. The final diameter depends on the weight of the feeder used.
2. Hook. It must be selected correctly, based on the estimated catch. For a hutch or roach, use a thin and long version; it is better to take a more powerful and shorter analogue for carp.
3. Feeder. For this snap fit any device. Most often, options are used in the form of a box or container in which the bait is placed.

Step-by-step instruction

For the feeder, the “helicopter and two nodes” equipment is made as follows:

• The line is drawn through the rings of the rod. The rig part (about 150 cm long) is attached to the main fishing line with a carabiner.
• After that, the joined sections of the forests are folded in half, about 20 centimeters are left, the fishing knot “eight” is tied.
• As a result, a loop with a length of about 20 cm will remain. The previous step is repeated, another loop is made at a distance of 2 centimeters from the neighboring one. If everything is done correctly, you will get two nodes.
• The swivel and feeder are fixed to the second loop (using the “loop in the loop” method). And so the snap-in “helicopter and two nodes” is formed.
• At the final stage, a leash is fastened between the nodes by means of a “cape”.

Fishing rules

Fishing for the equipment in question is not very different from using other analogues. However, there are secrets, namely:

• It is necessary to feed the fish. To do this, use top dressing and frequent casting of the fishing rod without attaching a leash with a hook.
• It is advisable to use a light bait. For feeder equipment “helicopter and two nodes” it is advisable to take bloodworms or maggots. Such a solution will enable the bait not to drown, but to hang in the water column, more actively luring fish.
• Tap the edge of the rod lightly. This will transmit momentum to the hook, which will twitch, attracting fish.
• The fishing in question is characterized by sharp hooks, which is due to jerking under the weight of the feeder.

Fishing for bream

When fishing for bream on a "helicopter" it is necessary to carry out casts exclusively over the edge. This is due to the fact that this fish is there most often migrates or eats. Powerful leashes must be taken on the bream, as it is strong and often hooks. This provokes the breakage of the leashes and the breakdown of the fish from the hook. When making equipment, choose a fluorocarbon wood that has excellent rigidity and is well camouflaged in water.

Of the nozzles and baits for bream fishing, canned corn or bait from this cereal is optimally suitable. To increase the catch, use special additives. Frequent change of bait will allow you to more actively lure fish.

Winter option

In the manufacture of snap-in "helicopter" in the winter version has its own tricks:

• First, a carbine and a stopper made of silicone are attached to the main forest.
• A loop is made on the edge of the fishing line, in which a feeder with a weight is fixed. In this form, the equipment can be reeled on a reel or reel.
• A retractable leash is made of several pieces of fishing line with a thickness of 0.2 mm and a length of about 40 centimeters.
• A triangular swivel is taken, to the two ends of which pieces of wood are attached. One more swivel is attached to each edge of the fishing line.

The number of swivels should not exceed 5 pieces. Nodal loops are made at both ends of the resulting leash. The tensioner will be fixed on one, and the second end serves to connect to the main fishing line.

During winter fishing on a "helicopter" a weight is first placed in the hole. Next to the carabiner is attached a retractable leash. If necessary, the tensioner is lowered. The bait is attached to the first hook, the leash is sent to the water. Similarly, the remaining bait hooks are immersed in the hole. Their position in the water can be adjusted using the length of the leashes or the size of the bait.

Total

Fishing equipment "helicopter" with a pair of nodes in practice proves its effectiveness. Increasingly, anglers use a feeder with this system. The advantage of the system is the possibility of its improvement, depending on the type of fish, season, flow rate and other "fishing" factors.
